Seller's comments about 1960' Buick Electra

This model year marks the peak of Jet Age design at Buick. With its striking, but more elegantly flowing tail fins than last year and the impressive front section, this "Deuce and a Quarter" (named after its impressive length of 225 inches or approx. 5.7 m) is the epitome of the "land yacht". As a rare 6-window hardtop sedan without a B-pillar, with the windows down it offers an incomparable silhouette and a feeling of freedom that has been lost in car manufacturing today.History & centerpieceUnder the massive hood is the legendary 401 cid "Nailhead" 6.6l V8 with 325 SAE HP, better known as the Wildcat 445. The number 445 proudly stands for the huge torque in lb-ft, that pushes this luxury cruiser forward with absolute sovereignty. The engine is most likely "matching numbers" (engine number corresponds to chassis number) and is coupled to a Dynaflow automatic transmission and an Edelbrock 4-way carburetor system for clean throttle response. The vehicle is also presented in the matching colors, exactly as it left the factory in 1960.Condition & TechnologyThis Buick is not a "trailer queen", but an extremely reliable cruiser. In Austrian ownership since 2010, there has been consistent investment in technology to make the car suitable for everyday use and safe without losing its charm: - Cooling: thermostat-controlled electric fan & oil cooler - heat build-up in city traffic or on hot summer days are a thing of the past. - Safety: conversion to a 2-circuit brake system with front disc brakes (new pads) and brake booster. The original drum brakes are available for purists.- Electrics: Complete wiring harness renewed, including battery isolator and breaker for safe parking in the garage.- Chassis: New shock absorbers at the front and high-jackers with compressor at the rear to better tune the driving behavior.- Comfort: Power steering, electric windows (front/rear), the original Sonomatic radio and a retro car radio "Caliber RCD 110" (with AUX, USB, CD, SD/MMC). A reversible center console was installed for additional comfort. Highlights at a glance - Austrian historical registration (6-person registration) - New chrome-plated bumpers and new windshield - Stainless steel exhaust system from the manifold for a subtle V8 sound and eternity - Stainless steel license plate holder - New whitewall tires - Towbar (can be removed with just 4 screws) The Buick is generally in a very well-maintained overall condition (estimated condition grade 2- according to Classic Data Scheme) with only minimal signs of wear. He was cared for and cared for, which you can see in every detail. By the way, a new carpet is ready, the original radiator is present and a new replacement starter is also part of the overall package. If you are looking for a reliable, technically optimized and visually impressive full-size classic, you cannot miss this Buick Electra 225!
